Sticker Organizer


Much like my scrapbook paper organization, it took me a while to figure out what worked for me to store and easily access my stickers.

If we're all honest with ourselves, we know accordion files were really created for crafters.  There are so many storage uses for them, they can't possibly have been meant for the office!  For my stickers, I purchased this accordion file on super clearance at Staples.  I believe it was only $3.

I bedazzled the front with these gorgeous stickers from Michael's.  I'm obsessed with them!  So shiny!

I printed on clear labels to keep my tabs clean and uniform. 

My labels are:
Alphabet
Spring
Summer
Fall
Winter
Disney
Travel
Nature
Sports
Food & Bev
Shapes
Misc.


Just stuff the stickers in and ta-da!  Easy access!
I use my sticker organizer pretty frequently and I love it!

Scrapbook Paper Organization


There are about a million different ways to organize your scrapbook paper.  It took me a while to figure out what really works for me.  I am the type of person that knows exactly what I'm looking for and I want to be able to grab it instantly.  Therefore, a hyper-organized scrapbook paper drawer is ideal for me.

I have the storage cube system from Michael's in my craft room.  I simply purchased 1 large file drawer and a few sets of the corresponding file folders.

I organized my papers first by season, then by holiday, a few random categories, and finally, by color.  The tabs are stickable tabs from Staples and I used my best friend {my label maker} to keep the labels clean and uniform.  (See my full list of labels below.)

Here are my labels:
Spring
Summer
Fall
Winter
Valentines
St Patricks
Easter
Patriotic
Halloween
Thanksgiving
Christmas
Disney
Travel
Misc
Red/Pink
Orange
Yellow/Gold
Green
Blue
Purple
Brown
White
Grey/Silver
Black

I'm sure once I have children or I find a big need for it, I'll add a few more categories.
Some others to consider:
School
Boy
Girl
Wedding
Birthdays
Sports
Hobbies

Happy Organizing!
